Ability to add more toolbars
It was very cool in early versions that it was possible to add more toolbars. Its annoying that the space is limited for the extra tools I want to add into the tool bar.
I would like to ask for adding the ability to add a new-line/toolbar so all the tools I add can be visible without need to expand a menu by clicking on the dots at the right side.

I very much agree with this, and came to give feedback just for this reason. Even allowing one toolbar to span multiple rows (so that you can still find everything quickly when in a smaller window) would be great.

I had a dream that I came to work and when I opened Acrobat, ALL my old toolbars were back!! I almost started crying I was so happy!!!
Then I woke up and realized it was just a dream, and that I only have one row of tool bars, and the rest just collapse into three dots.
Then I really started crying!!!
Why is the toolbars functionality so bad in Acrobat DC??? I have to click all over the place just to get basic things done. Big Step BACKWARDS!!

WOW - I just had an update to pro 2017 and i'm thinking 'where is everything'. you're all voicing problems that I have come across. a big step backwards from 2010 in some very basic areas. my productivity has dropped drastically. what took 1 click to accomplish now takes 3-4 clicks

@ DavidDavies: You are correct; those three options are available, however, the little icon which is listed under "File, Open" (Ctrl+O) would be most convenient to be able to swap out for the default Open Icon which only opens the recent files used list. The Ctrl+O option (icon) opens the file explorer, which some may find more convenient, depending on the user's file needs.

The default toolbar items in the latest version appears to be a step backwards. Why does the page controls toolbar suddenly need to collapse the full page, page wide, etc. buttons in a drop down. At the very least there should be a way to configure this or automatically expand if the window is wide enough.

Toolbars - You need to be able to have 2 rows of toolbars - limiting to one row is a big waste of time on my end - I use so many tools that having one toolbar visible is really limiting & a HUGE waste of my time - I have never understood how I have to spend more money for the program & the simplest things get eliminated? - I get the whole 3 dot thing, but how can someone thinks that is somehow more efficient than just being able to see the icons?!

I agree!!!! Used to be able to have multiple lines of commonly used tools, but no more. Now it's 2 or more clicks of the mouse to get the work done that one click used to do. It's a step BACKWARD in user friendliness.

I've used Adobe Acrobat for many years. Considering how much I pay per month to use the software (since you can't just buy the software outright anymore), you'd expect it to be a lot better than it is.
I have a "free" PDF editor app on my Mac, that is a lot better than the "paid version" of Acrobat I use at my office.

Hi,
Thanks for reaching out with your valuable suggestions.
We will definitely try to see the possibility of having toolbars in two rows in our future releases.Thanks

Currently, toolbars can only be in one line/row across the top of the window, under the Menu Bar and you must click on the three dots (...) to access any tools that do not fit in the width of your screen. In previous versions of Acrobat, you could break the toolbars into multiple rows. Allowing the toolbars to break into multiple rows or be combined into one long row would allow the user to decide which is most convenient for him/her.

Allow toolbars to be displayed on two rows. It's so inefficient to have 'quick tool' that you can see on the tool bar!

#Anonymous - Am I missing a point here?
You can hit ctrl-O, you have the OPEN option in the FILE menu, and RECENT FILES is available at a click - what more do you want? -

How come an important tool--to "open" a file--is not in the file tools? It will be very convenient if it can added to the menu/tool bar

As of now, we have to click on an ellipse (...) to get to the rest of the icons, which is annoying. If there was a way to add a 2nd row like in older versions, then we'd have enough room to add more buttons/tools and to add the page controls to the toolbar instead of having them floating around.
